Produktbeschreibung
During the past decade, the nature of world affairs has undergone significant changes unparalleled since the end of World War II. The 1990s have witnessed neither a new "World Order" nor the "End of History." The new world could rather be characterized as one in which we can find a juxtaposition of order and disorder. It is against this backdrop that this book addresses the future of strategic studies, considering the following four areas: the analysis of the possibilities and opportunities of enlarging the Western zone of co-operatively organized international affairs by including others; the analysis of regional security problems and dynamics; the research into new challenges to security; and an analysis of future instruments and dimensions of security policy.
The book contains contributions by young and promising scholars who are working mostly in the fields of security studies and international relations. Taken together, these contributions provide a good overview of contemporary issues and challenges in the field of security and defense issues and they give excellent examples of where strategic studies should aim.
